Method Detail

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Indicates if the TIN contains no data.

Remarks

IsEmpty is TRUE if the TIN contains no user data. In this state the TIN only has the four dummy nodes and two NODATA triangles added automatically by the software at the time the TIN was created.

IsEmpty is FALSE if any user data has been added to the TIN.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The pbIsEmpty

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

isDelaunay

boolean isDelaunay()
                   throws IOException,

Indicates if TIN was constructed using Delaunay triangulation.

Remarks

IsDelaunay is TRUE if the circumscribing circles for all triangles in the TIN do not contain any of the nodes used to construct the TIN. Nodes may fall on the circumcircle perimeters but not inside.

getFields

IFields getFields()

The collection of attribute items of the TIN.

Description

Returns fields used to represent intrinsic attributes of the TIN.

While a TIN doesn't have attributes stored in a database table it does have intrinsic properties that can be treated like attributes. In this manner, TINs can 'pretend' to be like other data types that have attributes. An identify operation is an example where this behavior is useful. An identify tool asks the dataset what attributes (fields) it has and what the values are for a selected feature. For TINs it's based on selected location.

Fields are Elevation, Slope, Aspect, Node Tag Value, and Face Tag Value.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IFields
